Hi, I am not a lawyer, I don't pretend to be a lawyer, nor do I even pretend like I know anything about copyrights or licenses beyond what I can read on Wikipedia.
So I'm very confused about the policy for copyrighting any work I contribute to sage. I would like to add a new file to sage--I've noticed that most files contain some kind of copyright notice, assigning copyright ownership to the original author of the file (many of these also have woefully outdated copyright dates despite the files being since updated, though my understanding is this technically doesn't matter). So my question is, what should I put in a new file? I don't want to claim copyright ownership under my own name, because I expect any file I contribute to the project to belong to all developers of the project, and for its protections to be covered under Sage's GPL license anyways. It would seem more efficient to simply put a notice at the top of the file to refer to Sage's license.
